Call for Jacob Fatu to Dominate Top WWE Superstars After Debut

The Anoa’i family has a strong presence in WWE, with several family members making significant impacts over the years. This legacy continues with Jacob Fatu, who signed with WWE this year. Rikishi has now expressed his desire to see Fatu run through all the top talent in WWE.

In case you had no idea, former MLW Heavyweight Champion Jacob Fatu has signed with WWE, as revealed by his family during WrestleMania 40 weekend. This news has fueled speculation about his possible involvement with The Bloodline.

Speaking on his podcast RIKISHI FATU OFF THE TOP, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi shared his thoughts on the potential role of Jacob Fatu within The Bloodline. Rikishi envisions Jacob entering WWE in a unique and impactful way as he wants Fatu to utterly dominate top talent in WWE.

“I kind of see Jacob, because of all the speculations of him jumping into The Bloodline, I kind of see Jacob coming in alone. I see Jacob, be it SmackDown or Raw, just coming back into that old TV match. Three minutes, annihilate people. Just go to Raw, three minutes, annihilate people. So he’s not really with a brand because if he stays stuck in the brands, and they announce that he’s with Raw, now you kind of already, ‘Okay, when is he gonna go with Jey?’ But if he’s committed to SmackDown, the fans are gonna say, ‘When is he gonna go with The Bloodline?’ So he needs to come in different. I kind of see Jacob, honestly, I would love to see Jacob run through top talent on the roster, on both sides, and then finally, when the time is right, that he would be involved into The Bloodline. Meaning going up against either The Rock or Roman Reigns or Solo Sikoa.

You gotta give that match to them. In order for people to get the best out of Jacob, my feeling is, Jacob needs to dance with family members because now, his comfort level, he can trust Roman to take care of him as far as whatever, Jimmy. There’s not that much pressure. But when you’re dancing with somebody else that you didn’t grow up with, and it’s a name, now you got that in the back of your head. Is this guy here? Is he trying to take too much? Am I giving him too much? He sees me being built up, is he just gonna be a selfish wrestler and try to take me? Here’s what I’m gonna say to people like that. In case they go that route, I’m gonna say to all the wrestlers out there, if you don’t know my nephew Jacob, listen, he was a street hustler, street fighter. Hardcore was Jacob before hardcore. He’s not afraid of anybody.”

Ringside News has also clarified a report about WWE fearing Jacob Fatu’s debut would overshadow Solo Sikoa. Tanga Loa already made his debut at the Backlash Premium Live Event as part of The Bloodline, so fans are eagerly anticipating Jacob Fatu’s debut. Nevertheless, there’s no doubt WWE wants Fatu to succeed once he debuts, and that’s all that matters.
